Is The OMEGA Aqua Terra The Perfect Everyday Luxury Watch?

If you're in the market for your first real luxury watch and looking for something with everyday versatility and durability, there is a relatively long list of options from major watch brands and even a few charming independents. However, for me, the Omega Aqua Terra is a watch that should be at or near the top of your list if you're looking for a "one and done" luxury watch for everyday wear. In this video, we'll go in depth with the modern Aqua Terra in a 41mm variant with a striking green dial to examine what it is that makes this watch so high on my list.

38.5mm with blue dial is my daily, it truly works perfectly with my lifestyle. wear it to the office, wear out socially, wear it on the boat/beach...

I bought my Aqua Terra 17 years ago. I wear it almost every day and I love it.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, it is indeed. So lovely. And suited for different wrist sizes with the different diameters available.

I bought my 41 mm blue dial last year. I find it simply spectacular

Just when I think I don't "need" another watch, you remind us about a classic that really has been right in front of us for a few years now. That green one is so handsome. And to be honest, it's great to see how a watch that has been worn every day still looks fantastic. Great episode as always teddy!

I have a 6.5 inch wrist went with the 41. The 8900 is amazing. The larger dial for me makes it lean a little more sporty, 38 felt more dressy, but all thing being equal in price, I went with the “better” movement. I have three straps, the rubber is probably my favorite but also have a blue snoopy leather and Milanese steel. One rubber, one leather, one steal changes the vibe of the watch.

Yes it is especially in green. Absolutely in love with mine

To my eyes it’s the perfect travel watch. Able to go swimming in it, wear it out to dinner, not worry about magnetism, and switch the hour quickly on the flight… pretty darn great for whatever I might do on vacation.

Just got mine today -- 38mm blue dial (although the green was very tempting). In love. Can't stop looking at it. And can't stop watching this video. Thank you for helping me arrive at my decision. This watch is a work of art.

I recently made an older 38mm Aqua Terra my one watch collection and couldn't be happier.

100%, it just looks gorgeous in any setting. Definitely prefer the horizontal lines over the vertical ones

Got the green 41. It is absolutely amazing. A masterpiece.

Aside from Aqua Terra being my favourite omega watch. I like the fact that Teddy takes the time to look and comment and like, post to his videos. Many youtubers say like, comment, or discuss and yet you never see them in the comments.

I have owned an Aqua Terra Seamaster Co-Axial with smooth silver face (no deck lines) for many years. I wear it every day for every occasion, and it is much admired. It is completely original, and the glass remains unscratched despite much garden working. The Steel bracelet to has never failed; at its (old style|) slide clasp. I have owned many watches in the past; this one is so genuinely tuff! So pleased am I that I even brought my wife the same with Ladies diamond hour positions Seamaster. She is very pleased with it; this too she now wears every day 24/7.

I picked up this same watch today with the grayish/blue dial. Just a simple, clean entry level luxury watch that can be worn in many applications. On a side note, if you plan on buying this and not telling your wife that you’re buying another watch, then beware. It comes in a huge frickin box!

I love it on a blue dial with aqua colored second hand. But this green is so rich too... Love it.

What a coincidence, I just made up my mind and pulled the trigger on a Omega Seamaster AT 41mm with black dial, after months of consideration of different models and types of watches. I watched many of your reviews and find them outstanding, you truly makes shopping for watches so much fun, and it sure helped me pick my first luxury watch cause really it comes down to what you like and are going to feel is right to have on your wrist every day. The Omega Seamaster AT checks so many boxes for me. Dressy yet sporty, it sure looks great with everything from a suit to a sail jacket or even running gear or WCT shirt. I love that it has a power reserve of 60h, just enough to be able to take it off on Friday night and put it back on Monday morning, and find it still running! I love that it's water proof to 150m, means I will never have to take it off at the beach when going for a swim (not leaving nosey eyes any chance to lay hands on it). Cause yes it WILL draw attention, given all the shine from all those polished parts on bezel and bracelet. Also the setting of hour hand alone is awesome, very quick way to change date or time zone without stopping the watch. My only "concerns" after one month of owning the 8900 is that it seems to be running a little fast, 4s per day or so. Wonder if this will change over time? I also find that when crown is screwed all the way down, the Omega logo is like 160 degrees rotated (almost up side down). It ends up like that all the time, so must mean there could been a way to always get it lined up correctly, so why not make it oriented that way from manufacturing? Is this same for all ATs? Another thing I noticed is when I gave the crown some 40 twists after it stopped, making it feel more resistant and so at least I thought it was fully winded, it stopped again in less than 24 hours. How much should you really have to turn it to fully tension the main spring? Would really apriciate some answers to these small concerns but still despite them I absolutely love my watch and more so for every day! Thanks Teddy for a great channel 👍

I am thinking about getting AT as my next watch and I've been researching about it for last couple of weeks. This is the video I've been missing from you. Perfect timing.
